Di María about to set sail for Monaco

Ángel Di María is very close to signing a transfer deal with Monaco and only Carlo Ancelotti can stop the Argentine from leaving in January. The player has reached an agreement with the French team and the two clubs have settled on a price tag of ¤35 million.

Di María wants to leave because he isn't getting enough playing time at Real Madrid. Gareth Bale has taken his place in the team and he has been relegated to a secondary role.

Unwilling to sit out the rest of the season on the bench, and with the World Cup starting in June, Di María wants to play more and make sure he arrives in good shape.
